Thanks for the list!

Any chance it could be re-ordered by # of weeks rather than chronologically?

Sure thing hun! Original post edited.

What was the most between 1960 and 1993?

I don't think there were any.

[WolfSpear]

Actually answered my question with a little research, and yes, there are no 20 week-ers during that time period.

Here's the most between 1960 and 1993:
End Of The Road - Boyz II Men (19 weeks) [1992]

And if you shorten this to pre-Nielsen, 1960-1991:
How Deep Is Your Love - The Bee Gees (17 weeks) [1977/78]

It ended its run in the Top 10 before the end of 1992. Its last in the Top 10 was 12/05/1992

[Rican@]

Shocked that Beyonce do not have any?

I knew Alicia Keys "If I Ain't Got You" would be there, but didn't expect "No One". Nice.

[macabyan]

UPDATE:

Don't Let Me Down hits 21 weeks. Can't wait to see how Closer fares

Meanwhile, Cheap Thrills hits 15 weeks. 5 more to go!

[macabyan]

UPDATE:

Don't Let Me Down achieves 22 weeks. One more week to bet for This Is What You Came For!

[macabyan]

UPDATE:

Don't Let Me Down won't literally go down with 23 weeks. 2 more and it'll be history!

Also Cheap Thrills unsteady at 17 weeks. Only time will tell.

[macabyan]

UPDATE:

Don't Let Me Down finally wraps its 23-week run. Also at the rate where Cheap Thrills is going, it'll be a while before this list updates so thanks for those who tuned in!

On the other hand, to celebrate the thousand views this thread has received, I've decided to include as well longevity ranks for artists in the top 10. At this point, The Chainsmokers look set to be challenging 32 weeks.

Thank you once again for the support!

[ListenToItTwice]

"48 - Ace of Base (1983-1984)"

Those years can't be right... 1993-1994?

I LOVE the artists list... Had forgotten Ariana Grande had such a long streak :O

[macabyan]

UPDATE:

twenty one pilots have now been in the top 10 for 5 consecutive months! They are taking it slooow

Also The Chainsmokers remain with strong 27 weeks thanks to Closer.

[macabyan]

UPDATE:

The Chainsmokers have now been in the top 10 for 7 straight months! Also Closer is now inching 20 weeks easily.

I hope Closer can remain in top 10 at least 10 weeks more

Heathens joins Closer as possible contenders for most weeks in the top 10!

With 23 weeks, some history was made still, as DLMD ties Another Night as #3-peaking songs with longest stay in the top 10. Well done!!

[areyoureadytojump]

Is there a thread that lists most consecutive weeks on the Top 40/100? I thought there was one? Thanks!

I believe there's none yet. Let's wait then until someone compiles it on a new thread? Would be happy to start one either. And no problemo

[areyoureadytojump]

I asked because I was listening to an old American Top 40 with Casey Kasem.

Laura Branigan's "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" was charting in the Top 40. Casey mentioned it was her 62nd consecutive week in the Top 40.

Gloria, Solitaire and HAISTLWY = 62 consecutive weeks in 1982/1983

[macabyan]

UPDATE:

"Closer" hits 20 weeks! Also The Chainsmokers never get older with 8 consecutive weeks in the top 10!

[scrohr424]

So, quick update: With this week, Closer has joined Starships, Sugar and the Purpose trilogy in debuting in the Top 10 then spending 21 weeks there.

Unless it collapses big time, it'll surely pass Love Yourself's 23 and likely even make 25. It looks like it'll have GOAT set before long. But I'm hoping for it to not pass the two big ones of the decade…

[macabyan]

UPDATE:

Closer now logs the most consecutive weeks for a top 10 debut with 24 weeks! Next week, it'll be the 13th song in history to achieve 25 weeks in the top 10.

'Paris' is coming next and probably gonna help The Chainsmokers to extend their weeks in top 10.

[macabyan]

UPDATE:

With Closer bound to fall short of the longest top 10 record, The Chainsmokers add Something Just Like This to have three songs in the top 10 and continue their uninterrupted 44 weeks.

LeAnn remains unbothered

[imbondz]

Closer has spent its entire chart run so far in the top 10. That's crazy.

[macabyan]

UPDATE:

Closer ties How Do I Live with 32 weeks in the top 10. The Chainsmokers tie Rihanna' 46 weeks as the 4th longest consecutive stay there.

[macabyan]

UPDATE:

The Chainsmokers are now the act with the second-longest consecutive stay in the top 10! They have been there for almost a year now :o

[Deleted]

A few weeks ago it looked inevitable that the chainsmokers would beat Drake's streak. Now, however, it looks like SJLT is falling out, and paris is too far gone to make a return. Will airplay save SJLT?
